Juventus defeating AS Roma in the Coppa Italia Quarterfinal with three goals.   Juventus will play against the winner of the match AC Milan v Lazio.  The ex AS Roma forward Marco Borriello now playing for Juventus facing his ex teammate since the starting lineup.

In the 6th minute the opening goal is by Juventus Emanuele Giaccherini with a left footed shot after the assist by midfielder Andrea Pirlo.  In the 30th minute it is iconic captain Alessandro Del Piero with a right footed shot.  A smacking goal by Del Piero running towards the fans sending them kisses and you bet I jumped from my seat to applaud Del Piero too.   Just towards the end the final blow for Roma when defender Simon Kjaer commits an own goal trying to clear the shot from forward Alessandro Matri.

At the end of the game the classical run to celebrate towards the fans.  Juventus players celebrating and their continuing winning path is still on.
